Whether it was devine intervention that drew me to your website listing or pure luck, but we couldn't have imagined a more perfect spot to share this special time with our girls. We frequently commented on how amazing it was that 6 women were able to get along for the entire trip with no fights, illnesses, or injuries and the weather couldn't have been more cooperative.
The condo was just exquisite, with every possible ammenity and your attention to detail was remarkable in decorating and furnishing it. Kudos to you!!! We basically had the Retreat Beach and waterfront area to ourselves until Friday. The few others that seemed to be staying at the Retreat, headed over to the public beach most of the day. With young children that was understandable. We, however, were content and thrilled with the peaceful, picturesque surroundings and ventured over to the public beach on occasion for food/drinks or to sign up for an excursion.
The other two ladies went scuba diving which was thrilling for them and very much out of character for both of them. We all did the catamaran stingray/snorkeling trip and that was fantastic. We cooked and ate in most nites enjoying both breakfast and dinner on the screened in porch.......there couldn't be a better waterfront dining location!!! We enjoyed preparing grouper, sea bass, kingfish and other delicious meals in your well appointed kitchen ( only missing item was a vegetable peeler...FYI). LOL
We hated to leave and even inquired at the office if the unit was available for another day or two, but they said there was another party coming in on Friday. They offered us a unit at another complex but if we couldn't stay there it wasn't worth it to us. We also cleaned the entire unit and stripped all the beds and began laundering the towels for the housekeeping staff. They came in around 11:30 as we were finishing our final packing to begin cleaning the unit. They seemed appreciative of our efforts to leave them little to straighten up. The majority of their work was linens and towels. We wanted to leave the unit as pristine as we found it.
Thanks again, Belle, so much for your allowing us to stay in your little piece of heaven called The Retreat at Rum Pointe. It will be a special memory for us all and we plan to put together a scrapbook for each of the girls with the many, many pictures we took while there.
I know I am definitely planning to return as soon as possible and the other Moms were eager to begin planning to come back as well. I hope you will consider renting to us again, as I cant imagine wanting to stay anywhere else.
Lets keep in touch and please feel free to use me or any of my lengthy narrative above in a reference for your vacation home.
WIth much appreciation,
Susan
